Self-Portrait using Kitchen items
Date completed: Fall Semester 2023
In my class, the first prompt was the self-portrait collage where I used a variety of kitchen items. This was a way for me to learn how to utilize various materials to understand the concept of texture, symmetry, patterns, shapes, balance, and negative space.
Medium used: Watercolor, color pencils, magazine cut outs, paper towel, fabric, twisted pasta, aluminum foil, and salt and pepper.
Statement of Inspiration: Always love yourself first.
